Liverpool target Chukwueze ahead of mid-season transfer window

European champions Liverpool have renewed their interest in Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze ahead of the mid-season transfer window in January.

Chukwueze was a target for Liverpool in the summer but the English club did not make a formal bid.

It is believed that Liverpool want to see the 20-year-old have more playing time in Spain, and they have sent scout to monitor his progress, according to footballfancast.com.

Chukwueze has maintained his place in Villarreal at the start of the current campaign, and so far the winger has one goal in three La Liga games, adding to the five goals and two assists he got from 26 league matches in 2018/19.
